Gujarat denied freebies and fake Hindutva
AAP led Kejriwal and congress tried to impress the people with promises like unemployment allowances, free electricity and water, But the people of Gujarat gave clear message to Congress and the AAP to learn the art of development politics. Arvind Kejriwal once said in his Kanpur rally that “Mera Ram kisi ki masjid todkar banaye Mandir mein nahi bas sakta" (his Lord Rama can’t live in a temple which is built after demolishing a mosque) But during Gujarat elections he promised to take every elderly of Gujarat on a pilgrimage to Ayodhya if his party is voted to power in the state in the Assembly election. During one of his Media bytes he also played another Hindutva card that he appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to print images of Hindu deities Ganesh and Lakshmi on the Indian currency to “improve” India’s economy and for country’s “progress”. But in the end, all this did not work and the party didn’t perform well.
